Standards and appropriate Vector Products
Bus System Description Application Area Appropriate Vector Product Page CAN (Controller Area Network) was developed by the
Robert Bosch GmbH in the early eighties and was interna-tionally standardized (ISO 11898) in 1994. CAN was specif-ically developed for the serial data exchange between electronic control units in automobiles but is also used for the realization of industrial microcontroller networks. LIN (Local Interconnect Network) has been developed especially for the cost-efficient communication of
intelligent sensors and actuators in automobiles. LIN bus system characteristics:
>master/slave architecture
>time-controlled data transmission
>single-wire data transmission max. 20 kBaud
>synchronization mechanism integrated in the protocol (no expensive quartz needed)
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) has been devel-oped especially for the transmission of multimedia data in automobiles.
MOST bus system characteristics:
>optical data transmission up to 25 Mbit/s
>ring structure of the bus system
>usage of the standardized XML Function Catalog
>plug&play capability
FlexRay has been designed as a bus system for all security-relevant applications as well as for transmission of large amount of data in automobiles.
FlexRay bus system characteristics:
>data transmission up to 10 Mbit/s
>redundant implementation of all networks
>deterministic transmission behavior
As an exchange format for tools for the configuration of bus communication (design, parameterization) with FlexRay, the XML based FIBEX format (Field bus Exchange) is predominantly used.

Internet: www.vector.com/catalog/ • E-mail: [email protected] J1939 is a communication protocol based on CAN for real-time data exchange between electronic control units (ECUs) in the area of commercial vehicles.
It describes the information exchanged between the ECUs in such a system. ISO11783 is a further development for agricultural engineering.
NMEA 2000®is a communication protocol based on J1939
from the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) for the realtime data exchange between electronic control units in maritime electronics.
SAE J1708 defines a serial, bidirectional network for use in the commercial vehicle industry. The SAE J1587 Standard regulates communication and standardized data exchange between different ECU based on SAE J1708 networks. The CANopen profile family specifies standardized commu-nication mechanisms and device functionalities.
CANopen is maintained by “CAN in Automation” (CiA), and can be implemented free of license.
The SAE J2534 standard defines the re-programming of ECUs via a PassThru interface. The purpose of this standard is to provide a unified communication capability via a standardized PC interface basically intended for flashing but also for diagnostics and other purposes.
Ethernet-based networks and the protocols built upon them are used in IT networks for decades. In the meantime they continue to grow in importance in the embedded environment. The main focus is on transmission of periodic signals and real-time capability.
XCP is an improved and generalized version of the CAN Cali-bration Protocol V2.1. (CCP). XCP can be used also in non-CAN networks (e. g. FlexRay, SPI, SCI). The main benefit of XCP is the independence concerning the transport layer.
Keyword Protocol 2000 (KWP2000; ISO 14230) and “Unified Diagnostic Services” (UDS; ISO 14229) are standardized diagnostic protocols for electronic control units. The physical access to the ECU is possible via a serial con-nection (“K-line” KWP-on-K-Line) or via CAN (KWP-on-CAN, UDS-on-CAN).
The ODX format (Open Diagnostic Data Exchange) is based on the ASAM-MCD-2D-Basic working draft. Manufacturers of vehicles, electronic control units, and testers can write and exchange electronic control unit data in the uniform ODX format, which covers all manufacturers.
The RP1210 specification defines an open interface (API) between Windows-based applications and in-vehicle com-munication networks. This interface offers functionality for bus systems – such as CAN and J1708 – as well as for higher layer protocols such as J1939 and J1587.

The core idea of AUTOSAR is to master the growing complexity of software in modern vehicles by standardization. The development partnership founded by leading automotive OEMs and suppliers set the goal of defining an open reference architecture for ECU soft-ware. Many advantages are realized by standardization and using clearly specified interfaces between the basic software modules to the functional software: e.g. re-usability of the same software for different microcontrollers and functions with a simultaneous increase in quality.
Vector, your Trusted Partner for AUTOSAR Projects
As one of the first premium members of the AUTOSAR Consortium, Vector has been actively involved in the development of new tech-nology for a long time. This active participation was recognized by the AUTOSAR Consortium in awarding Vector the first AUTOSAR Premium Member Award in 2007. Vector‘s experience with AUTOSAR is also reflected in AUTOSAR tools and the basic software, which is already being used in numerous production projects.
Overview of the Vector AUTOSAR Solution
Vector supports you in all development phases of projects with tailor-made AUTOSAR solutions for design, development and implementation:
DaVinci – The AUTOSAR Tools from Vector
> DaVinci Developer is the optimal tool for graphic-based
defini-tion of AUTOSAR software components.
> DaVinci Component Tester lets you conveniently test AUTOSAR
software components on a PC.
> DaVinci Configurator Pro is used to configure the MICROSAR
basic software and the RTE from Vector, the basic software from third-party suppliers or for modules you developed in-house (e.g. complex drivers).
MICROSAR – The AUTOSAR Basic Software Modules from Vector
To make it possible for you to efficiently develop production-mature ECUs according to AUTOSAR, you get MICROSAR from Vector – software modules that are AUTOSAR-conformant for AUTOSAR 3 (ASR 3) and from Q3/2012 also for AUTOSAR 4.0 (ASR 4.0). They cover the entire AUTOSAR standard and also contain numerous practical extensions.
For ECUs with safety-relevant functions, we recommend to use MICROSAR Safe – the MICROSAR solution for ECUs up to ASIL D per ISO 26262. MICROSAR Safe is available for ASR 4.0 and ASR 3.

The AUTOSAR Evaluation Bundle is a comprehensive package of OEM independent AUTOSAR basic software and design and config-uration tools from Vector. This package lets you develop your first ECU software with an AUTOSAR-conformant software architecture. You get an in-depth look into the AUTOSAR world – from the design and configuration process to implementation of the actual basic software. You can obtain OEM-specific BSW modules, e.g. for diagnostics, in our MICROSAR Prototype SIP (see page 4 of this datasheet).
Application Areas
The AUTOSAR Evaluation Bundle supports both the automotive OEM − in evaluating AUTOSAR processes and methods – and sup-pliers in creating a first AUTOSAR-conformant ECU software. Since the tools and basic software are at a level of production maturity, you can reliably use the Vector solution to evaluate AUTOSAR with regard to:
> Efficiency of the basic software
> Integration of the tools in your development environment > Potential uses of AUTOSAR concepts in your application area The AUTOSAR Evaluation Bundle also provides an optimal founda-tion for initial developments of AUTOSAR-conformant software components (SWCs) for service providers who focus on the appli-cation level.
If you do not have any specific hardware available and only wish to evaluate the AUTOSAR method and tools, you can also obtain the AUTOSAR Evaluation Bundle with the MICROSAR CANoe Emulation. In this case, you use the PC as a runtime platform with the CANoe testing and development tool from Vector (not included with bundle) and can omit startup with real hardware. However, you work with the same methods, tools and basic software as in the development of a real ECU.

Functions
The AUTOSAR Evaluation Bundle contains all tools and software from Vector for creating a complete set of AUTOSAR ECU software, which consists of software components (SWCs), Runtime Environ-ment (RTE) and basic software (BSW). The DaVinci tools are tai-lored to AUTOSAR and simplify your work in designing complex AUTOSAR applications. As input for configuring the MICROSAR software, you would use an ”ECU Extract of System Description“ (AUTOSAR XML) or as an alternative a conventional network description file (DBC, FIBEX, LDF).
> The DaVinci Developer tool gives you an easy way to generate
AUTOSAR-conformant ECU applications. Using the graphic edi-tor, you can describe your AUTOSAR software components quickly and clearly and define their interfaces. The SWCs serve as a basis for the RTE configuration process, which you also per-form with DaVinci Developer.
> The DaVinci Component Tester is used to conveniently test – on
a PC - implementation of the SWCs. Based on SWC description files, the DaVinci Component Tester emulates the Virtual Func-tion Bus (VFB) and lets you conduct unit testing of SWCs. > The DaVinci Configurator Pro tool is used to configure the basic
software modules and the RTE. You can use the convenient and intuitive user interface to adapt parameter values for your ECU project. The GENy tool offers special support in configuring the communication basic software.
> The CANdelaStudio tool is used to define diagnostic data for
your networks and ECUs. You can export this data via standard
formats, and use the data in automatic configuration of the MICROSAR diagnostic basic software.
The AUTOSAR Evaluation Pack is available for AUTOSAR 3 (ASR 3) and 4.0 (ASR 4.0). The included MICROSAR basic software modules efficiently and flexibly implement all functions of the related AUTOSAR Releases. They also contain many extensions that go beyond the standard.

Premium Member
MICROSAR is the AUTOSAR solution for your ECU software. MICROSAR consists of the MICROSAR RTE and MICROSAR basic software modules (BSW), which cover all aspects of the AUTOSAR standard and many extensions. Each AUTOSAR BSW module is assigned to a MICROSAR package. For detailed descriptions of individual packages and the MICROSAR RTE, please refer to the separate datasheets. Vector combines the BSW modules needed in individual “software integration packages”.
Application Areas
The BSW modules of the MICROSAR packages assure basic func-tionality of the ECU. They contain the implementations of AUTOSAR standard services you will need for your functional software. You are able to develop your functional software platform
independ-ently, because the AUTOSAR architecture follows a consistent strategy of hardware abstraction.
Modules from the MICROSAR OS and MICROSAR CAL packages are hardware-dependent. Vector offers these modules for a large number of different hardware platforms and compilers, e.g. to enable quick change-out of the controller device. The operating system MICROSAR OS is available for single core and multi core-processors. Based on its ongoing contacts with OEMs, Vector is able to offer a number of OEM-specific BSW modules such as the diagnostic modules.
You can configure all necessary MICROSAR BSW modules based on your project’s requirements, and after generation you can inte-grate them with the functional software. This produces a complete set of ECU software. If the functional software consists of AUTOSAR-conformant SWCs, you will need a run-time environment (RTE). The MICROSAR RTE handles communication between the SWCs and their access to data and services from the BSW modules. Along with managing the entire flow of information, the MICROSAR RTE also assures consistency in the exchange of information.
Properties
Development of the MICROSAR basic software modules is founded on the Vector development process for standard modules, which is
MICROSAR
The Vector Solution for AUTOSAR ECU Software
The MICROSAR packages contain all modules of the AUTOSAR 4.0 standard
based on SPICE. All MICROSAR packages offer the following fea-tures:
> Efficient memory utilization and short execution times > Available for production use
> Available for AUTOSAR 3 and 4.0 (from Q3/2012)
> Assistants and timely checks support you in achieving consistent configuration of your basic software
> Scalable, adaptable to your specific application > Optimally integrated into your development process > AUTOSAR Monitoring for testing and analysis of ECUs > User-selectable configuration point (pre-compile, link-time or
post-build)
> Communication stack is versatile in its use > Supports multiple ECUs
> Optional delivery as source code
> Together with MICROSAR Safe: well-suited for safety-relevant functions (ISO 26262)
Production Use
The MICROSAR BSW modules are already being used in production projects. MICROSAR lets you benefit from Vector’s many years of experience in implementing embedded standard software. Before delivery, all MICROSAR Software modules undergo systematic integration tests for the specific conditions of your application (hardware platform, compiler, processor device, OEM, with/without RTE, etc.). Upon request, these tests may be
extended to cover software modules from third-party producers (e.g. MCAL drivers).
Support of AUTOSAR 3 and 4.0
Regardless of whether you use AUTOSAR 3 (ASR 3) or 4.0 (ASR 4.0 - from Q3 2012), from Vector you get the entire basic software from a single source. In migration of your projects, you benefit from the uniform development environment for both ASR3 and ASR4.0: > The configuration tools DaVinci Developer and DaVinci
Configurator Pro are designed for both releases. This lets you avoid a change in tools.
> MCAL drivers from different AUTOSAR releases can be combined with MICROSAR.
In addition, we support you in adapting your functional software to the modified interfaces of the ASR4.0 standard.
Another advantage of MICROSAR lies in its many extensions in the BSW modules for ASR 3, which actually were not specified until ASR 4.0. Some examples are the multi-core operating system, as well as support for J1939, XCP and Ethernet/IP, which are already availa-ble for ASR 3. The MICROSAR MOST bundle is a supplement to the standard created by Vector and is compatible with ASR 3 and ASR 4.0.
Consistent and Simple Configuration
With AUTOSAR, the work of manually developing or adapting the basic functionality of ECU software is replaced by configuration of
DaVinci tools are used to consistently configure the MICROSAR RTE and MICROSAR BSW modules
Contact and Availability
MICROSAR BSW modules are available for many currently used microcontrollers as well as in OEM-specific versions. For more information, go to: www.microsar.com/availability/ or contact us. Find your contact person at: www.vector.com/contact
the BSW modules. The intuitive, user-friendly and well coordinated AUTOSAR tools from Vector (DaVinci) support the user in this process. Multi User Support of the DaVinci tools enables simulta-neous work on a project by multiple users. The DaVinci tools require an “ECU Extract of System Description” file as input. It is also possible to produce a configuration based on commonly used network description files (DBC, FIBEX, LDF, etc.).
Early in the configuration process, all DaVinci tools check the validity of individual parameters, complex parameter groups and their interrelationships. In case of invalid configurations, the tools make recommendations for corrections, if possible. This extension of the AUTOSAR method simplifies integration of the basic soft-ware in your ECU and reduces integration time.
The DaVinci tools optimally assist you in configuring the RTE and the BSW modules. In a bottom-up process, for example, the SWC service ports (including runnables) are automatically generated to match the BSW configuration. This automation relieves you of tasks that recur frequently and are prone to errors when performed manually. This saves you time and costs.
For more details on DaVinci tools from Vector, please refer to the relevant datasheets.
Scalability
In addition to fulfilling AUTOSAR requirements, the MICROSAR BSW modules also provide a number of functional extensions. The extended configuration options let you deactivate unnecessary
functions to optimize the MICROSAR code for your application. This scalability makes the MICROSAR modules the optimal solution for both small and challenging applications. MICROSAR is already being implemented in a wide range of ECUs, such as steering angle sensors, door ECUs, engine ECUs, central gateways, etc. MICROSAR may also be used with other operating systems such as Linux or QNX.
AUTOSAR Monitoring
AUTOSAR Monitoring simplifies testing and analysis of ECUs with such tools as CANape or CANoe. The MICROSAR A2L Generator generates an A2L file for this purpose. This contains the descrip-tion of important RTE-internal variables such as Send/Receive ports, internal states of the MICROSAR BSW modules and of COM signals. In testing, you read them out at runtime with XCP.
User-Selectable Configuration Point
The configuration point of all MICROSAR basic software modules is user-selectable. You can select the configuration point for each BSW module; choices are: pre-compile, link-time or post-build.
ECU Variants
To save on logistical costs in AUTOSAR ECUs, the MICROSAR mod-ules can be delivered with the optional Identity Manager. This option lets you develop physical multiple-ECUs within a car line or multi-configuration of ECUs that are used in different car lines. For
You use DaVinci Configurator Pro to configure the BSW modules and the RTE.
You use DaVinci developer to define the functional software (SWCs)

MICROSAR OS is a pre-emptive real-time multitasking operating system with optimized properties for use on microcontrollers. Vector’s many years of experience in developing operating systems and drivers for microcontrollers are bundled into this small, robust operating system core.
Properties
MICROSAR-OS is based on the AUTOSAR OS specification, an exten-sion of the practice-proven OSEK/ VDX-OS operating system stan-dard. This standard was extended to include functions for time
monitoring and memory protection as well as functionalities that support distributed applications in networks.
MICROSAR OS is fully conformant to the AUTOSAR OS specification and supports all scalability classes:
SC1: Real-time operating system implemented per the
OSEK/VDX-OS standard and extended to include schedule tables
SC2: Real-time operating system with time synchronization and
monitoring of the time behavior of individual tasks and interrupt service routines
SC3: Real-time operating system with memory protection
mecha-nisms on microcontrollers with suitable hardware support
SC4: Combines scalability classes SC2 and SC3 Optional Extensions
> Synchronization with the global system time
Schedule tables can be synchronized with the global system time, e.g. the time transmitted over the FlexRay bus. This makes syn-chronized and simultaneous execution of tasks possible in a dis-tributed system.
> Memory protection (SC3, SC4)
Memory protection assures that application components do not mutually destroy data. This makes the integration of applications easier and more reliable.
MICROSAR OS
The Real-Time Operating System for the AUTOSAR Standard
MICROSAR OS Modul according to AUTOSAR 4.0
> Timing Protection (SC2, SC4)
Timing protection ensures that assumptions made in the early design phase related to execution times are preserved during runtime as well. As a result, a defective application section cannot impair the execution times of other running processes.
> Execution time measurements (SC2, SC4)
You can use functions of scalability classes 2 and 4 to measure the execution times and interrupt disable times of applications. These measured data can later be used as practice-based values in designing and integrating future applications.
> High Resolution Timer
The high resolution timer mechanism offers time resolutions of less than 1ms without increasing interrupt load. Depending on the controller, this may enable resolutions into the microseconds range.
> High Resolution Synchronization for Schedule Tables
In some applications, it is necessary to synchronize and trigger schedule tables with very high precision using internal or external signal sources. The “High Resolution Synchronization” option gives you resolutions in the microsecond range without increasing interrupt load.
Operating system for applications according to ISO 26262
For safety-relevant applications according to ISO 26262, you can obtain from Vector the operating system variant MICROSAR OS SafeContext that was developed according to ASIL D. It is based on the AUTOSAR scalability classes SC3 and SC4 and is responsible for memory protection and safe context switching. To preserve “free-dom from interference” with regard to memory protection, you need a suitable processor, e.g. with a Memory Protection Unit (MPU).
You can use MICROSAR OS SafeContext to use safety-relevant application components together with standard components on the same CPU.
Components supplied with MICROSAR OS SafeContext: > Operating system
> Configuration and generation tool
> Read-back tool – developed per ASIL and certified > Safety Manual
For more details on the Vector solution for safety, please refer to the separate datasheet for MICROSAR Safe.

We would be glad to provide you with information on OEM-specific versions and individual support for your AUTOSAR projects.
Multi-Core operating system
MICROSAR OS Multi-Core is an advanced development of the proven real-time operating system MICROSAR OS from Vector. You can use it wherever a multi-core system is to be developed according to the AUTOSAR specification. MICROSAR OS Multi-Core is based on AUTOSAR specification 4.0, but it can also be used in AUTOSAR 3 projects.
Functions of the Multi-Core operating system
The multi-core operating system enables parallel and independent operation of multiple processor cores, each with a separate instance of the AUTOSAR operating system. Thereby, its configura-tion and system services match those of the single-core operating system. The extensions SC2 to SC4 and High Resolution Timing are available. In addition, MICROSAR OS Multi-Core offers mechanisms for coordinating and synchronizing tasks that run on different cores.
> Synchronized Start-Up
The operating system assures that all cores are started up and initialized before the associated application is started.
> Inter-Core Coordination
Processes on different cores are synchronized by task activations, setting of events, starting and stopping of alarms or Schedule-Tables.
> Shared Resource Access
If different cores should access commonly used resources, the operating system provides a coordination mechanism known as Spinlocks.
> Inter-Core Communication
For consistent data exchange between two cores, the operating system provides an efficient interface in the form of the Inter-OS Application Communicator (IOC).
Development Tools
> Graphic configuration tool
The Configuration of the operating system can be done using the supplied configuration tool. For convenient configuration, we re-commend an upgrade from the supplied DaVinci Configurator Base to DaVinci Configurator Pro that also includes a consistency check. > TimingAnalyzer Design Assistance
The TimingAnalyzer computes the task execution schedule, checks for conformance to execution time restrictions and represents the schedule tables in a well-organized graphic display. Analysis is performed for every task and every interrupt with the following information: Priority, period, execution time and end time. The graphic user interface visualizes system behavior clearly and concisely.
The complete AUTOSAR solution from Vector
The Vector AUTOSAR solution consists of the DaVinci tools, the MICROSAR BSW and the MICROSAR RTE.
You will find information on general properties of the BSW modules from the MICROSAR packages as well as details on functional features of the individual DaVinci Tools in the particular datasheets.

The basic software modules (BSW) of MICROSAR COM include AUTOSAR services for ECU communication. These services can support any number of communication channels. They are bus-independent and are needed in every communication stack. Per AUTOSAR architecture, they handle control and full integration in the ECU software of bus-specific communication modules from MICROSAR CAN, MICROSAR FR, MICROSAR LIN, MICROSAR IP and MICROSAR MOST.
Application Areas
MICROSAR COM lets users develop their functional software by a fully bus-independent approach. All necessary tasks for transmit-ting messages and for cross-bus network management activities are handled by the configurable BSW modules COM, NM, PDUR and IPDUM from MICROSAR COM.
For a gateway ECU, you do not need any additional software. The COM and PDUR BSW modules from MICROSAR COM enable routing of signals and TP or application messages.
Functions
The BSW modules from MICROSAR COM contain functions defined in AUTOSAR Release 3 (ASR 3) and 4.0 (ASR 4.0):
> Services of the COM module organize transmission of messages according to their send type (cyclic, event-triggered, etc.). A key task is to implement bus-independent signals of the functional software in PDUs.
> The PDU Router (PDUR) provides to the modules COM, DCM and to the complex drivers an interface to the communication mod-ules (interface, transport protocol and network management) of the bus systems. This interface serves to transmit and receive data via PDUs. The PDUR also implements a gateway between the communication modules of the various bus systems.
> The Generic Network Management Interface (NM) bundles inter-bus network management activities of all of the ECU’s communi-cation channels. As NM coordinator, it synchronizes wake-up and sleep of the communication channels.
> The optional I-PDU Multiplexer (IPDUM) supports multiple usage of fixed I-PDUs with different data contents.
The following functions are optionally available: > COM: TX deadline monitoring
COM: PDU Replication (for ASR 4.0)
